Built for the solo handyman and remodeler. The one-man show jumping trades every single day — plumbing on Monday, electrical on Tuesday, drywall on Wednesday. Doing it all himself with no office manager, no foreman, nobody to hand anything off to. Every other app in this space solves one problem. Guy solves all of them — and he's with you on the job when you hit something you haven't dealt with in two years. AI JOB-SITE ADVISOR Ask Guy anything — electrical, plumbing, HVAC, structural, finish work. Snap a photo of a problem and get a field-tested answer to code. Guy knows the trades and talks like a contractor, not a textbook. SMART ESTIMATES Describe the job or snap a photo. AI generates a detailed cost breakdown with labor, materials, and timeline.
